Episode 157 | Family Of God, Part 4: Membership

Feb 7, 2024    Autumn Gardner, Andy Barlow

Jesus spoke of His followers, the inhabitants of the kingdom of God, in familial terms. Being connected to Christ implies a simultaneous connection to members of His body, whom He calls family. This new family is distinct, marked by a fullness not found in the kingdoms of the world. This new family grows together in distinct expressions of kingdom life and is characterized by the corporate rhythms of generosity, community, worship, and commitment to God and each other.


In part four of this four-part series of conversations, Andy and Autumn discuss the biblical understanding of membership and its relevance to the modern local church.
